Communities and Activities Report. Andres Loeh published the Haskell Communities and Activities Report (11th edition, November 2006). The report is now available from the Haskell Communities home page in several formats. The goal of the report is to improve the communication between the increasingly diverse groups, projects and individuals working on, with, or inspired by Haskell. When we try for the next update, six months from now, you might want to report on your own work, project, research area or group as well.
Visual Haskell prerelease 0.2. Krasimir Angelov announced that there is a prerelease version of Visual Haskell available. This is the first version that is: available for both VStudio 2003 and VStudio 2005, and distributed with a stable GHC version (6.6)
Haskell MIME library. Jeremy Shaw announced the availability of a MIME processing library. This library is supposed to be able to parse emails and decode various attachments, and generate emails with attachments. The library includes modules that implement portions of: RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2387 and RFC 2822.
Core (ghc-base) library. Bulat Ziganshin announced progress on the Core library project, to divide the Haskell base library into two parts: small compiler-specific one (the Core library proper) and the rest: new, compiler-independent Base library that uses only services provided by Core lib.
hpodder 0.99.0. John Goerzen announced hpodder 0.99.0, the first beta candidate for making an eventual 1.0.0 release of hpodder. hpodder is a podcast downloader that happens to be written in Haskell. This version introduces two major new features: nicer apt-like output and multithreaded downloading.
MissingH 0.16.3. John Goerzen released MissingH 0.16.3. Including a new module MissingH.ProgressTracker which tracks the progress of long-running tasks, and MissingH.Quantity which renders numbers according to a quantification system such as SI or binary.
The restricted IO monad. Stefan O'Rear introduced RIO, an experimental library for extensible restricted IO in Haskell.
Typed symbolic differentiation. Oleg Kiselyov showed symbolic differentiation of a wide class of numeric functions without any interpretative overhead. The functions to symbolically differentiate can be given to us in a compiled form (in .hi files); their source code is not needed. We produce a (compiled, if needed) function that is an exact, algebraically simplified analytic derivative of the given function. Our approach is reifying code into its `dictionary view', intensional analysis of typed code expressions, and the use of staging to evaluate under lambda.
